Mock Convention Prediction


January 3rd will be a night of celebration for Mitt Romney in Iowa, according to the student researchers who are preparing for Washington and Lee University's Mock Republican Convention next month.

The Mock Convention has made only two incorrect predictions since 1948.

The Mock Convention will be held Feb. 9-11 on the W&L campus with the nomination itself occurring on Feb. 11 in the University's Warner Center. The festivities will begin with a parade Friday morning and continue with a full line-up of prominent speakers, including speeches by former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. The students have also planned a debate between top Democratic strategist James Carville and GOP pundit Ann Coulter.
